Dill-Icious Deviled Eggs

Submitted by foxfyre

"These are fairly simple (most of the ingredients are seasonings) and similar to a number of other deviled egg recipes out there, but the addition of dill pickle juice and just a touch of garlic gives them a bit of additional zip. These are a big hit at gatherings with family and friends - I usually have to make a double batch!"

I certainly did love it, though in my book it is hard to go wrong with deviled eggs. Add in dill pickle juice and garlic . . .let's just say, I intentionally did not make a full batch, or make it when I would have to fight with my husband for them! Great recipe, good balance of flavor.
